It's the "Eighty Percent Method", my best repair technique. Take broken 
device, open it up, inspect, probe, prod, scratch head, spray De-Oxit, 
reassemble, and 80% of the time it'll work.

Congratulations!

Good Morning All,

Well, I'm VERY pleased to report that, in the process of getting access for 
the removal of my B+ voltage monitoring meter from the front of my 
amplifier, the doggone thing has returned to normal again...!

I undid umpteen screws, knobs, spacers, protective screens, ad nauseam to 
get the thing removed ---  somehow during all of this electronic 
compontentry feat of gymnastics, whatever it was that whacked-out the meter 
movement yesterday & prevented it from dropping back down to zero, became 
"re-set".

Chalk one up to "...industrial phenomenon."
